McCaskill questions missile defense move

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Missouri, released a statement today questioning President Barack Obama's decision to scrap plans for a missile defense apparatus in Eastern Europe.

Here it is:

“I am concerned about the Administration’s abrupt decision today to cancel the long-planned missile defense deployment to two important allies, the Czech Republic and Poland. In July, the Senate unanimously adopted the Lieberman-Sessions amendment that stated that the U.S. missile defense system in Europe should be capable of protecting the United States and Europe. I urge the Administration to explain to the American people and our European allies why this decision is in the best interest of our collective security against the Iranian threat – right now we have been given too little information to be sure that this is the best path forward.”  

Obama announced today that he was formally pulling out of the plan, which had been a major priority for former President George W. Bush. The plan, however, sparked anger in Russia.
